Here's the link:

BestBuy in the states has a link for it and it's listed as "coming soon".

That's because they are sold out. They will slowly bring some back within the hour or so, but it will get snipped within a second due to scalpers/bots.

 

[itsLJ]

No, it is definitely reseller bots. I knew someone who admitted to being a reseller (basically scalper) and he always flaunted how easy the 50 bots they had were easy to set up.

A similar story, someone I went to school with invested in bots during the switch epidemic... in the area people didn't give in to scalpers and at one point he was selling them to people for $180 dollars lol.

That sucks... I just got the notification from the app for a "related product" I could get and it's already gone?!

Will do! Thank you. I really want these cards. I’ll do anything.

Awww. I will help you out if I can. I have 2 switches I am willing to reset. So far, I have the best buy order and my husband bought me 25 packs from AU (they might get here as late as Jan 2022) but I am more than willing to scan them in on one of my islands for a fellow TBT member. I have been shafted and treated like a number on Nookazon! No love there! TBT has always been family to me! I will def be giving back!

I could pre ordered the amiibo cards using same link for Cdiscount but I as soon as they sold out for pre order I think they removed the link.
I think also Cultura is going to sell some of amiibo cards but I am not sure when it will be out or already finished pre order. I just saw about this in this page :

With the Sanrio cards in the us at least, there were special conditions that made this not illegal or weird at all - they all went on sale online only at the exact same time, which was I think 9 am EST, or 6 am PST, so before the stores in some parts of the country opened.

none of the stores were supposed to stock the cards in store, but some did and those stores that stocked in store also disregarded the pack limit and ended up no fulfilling some online orders.

so it was not in this case weird for the cards to sell out before the store opened (because they officially went on sale before the store was open) and the stores that sold in store ended up causing much more trouble, especially for the poor people who got their orders cancelled.

I am on the west coast and was happy that my order couldn’t be sold out from under me by a store deciding to ignore the instructions (and because I bought them online before the store opened)

sorry @Fey, meant to be replying to you, but must not have quoted your post right. Just wanted to add in the weird circumstances/ mess of the Sanrio fiasco.

Thaaat makes sense—I mean, as much as it can. Thanks for explaining, because I only know of general store policies from people who work there, and hadn’t heard about the Sanrio mess.

This is very helpful and gives me new perspective on Nov 5—looks like going to a store might be futile, so I’ll reconsider that plan unless I hear otherwise.

Yesterday was Walmart, today was Best Buy and .25% of Walmart. Who do you think is up next? Target or Amazon? LOL

Oh man, making bets on that may be money better spent than on these cards lol

I’m going to say Amazon, since it’s been opening preorders in other countries already! Or maybe they’ll all open simultaneously for a total of 30 seconds!! Isn’t this all thrilling?! ^ｪ^

 

[Sheydra]

Sign don’t have time or patience to play the out game. Just might wait for a set in amazon.

Good luck with that too, in France they are already out of stock

now i know how Lucky feels lol

 

[Sheydra]

Yeah but after their out someone will do sets of them, have to wait a bit but a lot less stress.

For those familiar, how are the cards sold in Europe set up?

I snagged a pack of three cards off of German Amazon and am having them shipped to a German address, but I don’t know if these are German cards, European cards (multi-language?) or made for some combination of countries.

I’m totally willing to eventually trade (or sell them for the price I got them for) if they aren’t of a villager I want.

Since they are original what does it matter if they come from germany, spain or other eu country? Sorry new in this all card collecting

 

[saltypotato]

from what i read, EU/JP/AU get 3 cards per pack, North America gets 6 per pack but im confused because the amazon place holder for UK has 6 as well so I'm not too sure what other differences there will be apart from them being in a different language it they're from a non English speaking country

 

[MorphiGalaxi]

I'm so mad that the animal crossing amiibo cards are still only at BestBuy in Canada, and 1 pack per person. I ordered one pack but I'd like to be able to order more Only 1 is so little

 

[Insulaire]

Ironically, given that half of the new Amiibo series cards are NPC cards, the Euro packs give you a better chance to complete the set even though they seem like a worse deal

It matters for lots of collectors because they would want all of their cards to be the same (language) version. If I want to try to trade my cards for the villagers I want, I might have a harder time with people only looking for English cards etc. I hope that makes sense.

 

[Biancasbotique]

$30-$35 a pack on ebay? wow

Completely makes sense, its a collectors thing, makes sense. Thanks for your time !
